HAPPY DAYS Plays the Roxy Regional Theatre, 7/12-8/18

Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy Days are here again with Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli, Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and all of the gang in the Roxy Regional Theatre's production of Happy Days, opening Thursday July 12, at 7pm.

This new musical based on the hit television series reintroduces one of America's best-loved families, the Cunninghams, to a whole new generation, taking audiences back to the days of 1959 Milwaukee, complete with varsity sweaters, hula hoops and jukebox sock-hoppin'. When the famed drive-in malt shop and number one hangout, Arnold's, is in danger of demolition, the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and a TV-worthy wrestling match. With music and lyrics by Oscar-winner Paul Williams and a book by the TV series' original creator Garry Marshall, this perfect family-friendly musical will have you rockin' and rollin' all week long!

Starring Regan Featherstone as "The Fonz," Rob Rodems as Richie Cunningham and Kaitlin Doughty as Pinky Tuscadero, Happy Days features Ryan Bowie (Potsie), Josh Bernaski (Ralph Malph), Ben Prayz (Howard Cunningham), Jama Bowen(Marion Cunningham), Hannah Church (Joanie Cunningham), Travis Kendrick (Chachi), Darren Michael (Arnold), Humberto Figueroa, Erin Keas, Ashley Laverty, Sean Ormond, Kourtni Cottrell, Taiylor James, Truman Jepson, Samantha Grimes andMadeline O'Connor.
